Bat info needed

Beautiful bat. I believe H&B issued 2 bats per player for the WS and All Star games. I'm not sure if Adirondack did the same. I would assume they did but not sure.

I think 2 for each player with an Adirondack contract would be correct. If a player had a contract with Louisville Slugger they would get 2 from them as well.

I have one of the two H&S bats issued to Pete Runnels for the second 1962 All-Star Game, at Wrigley Field. Two All-Star Games wer played each year from 1959 through 1962.

Do any of you have a guesstimate on what the McCovey bat would be "worth"?

Hello. McCovey bats are hard to get a consistent read on when it comes to pricing. Adirondack bats usually bring less in general than H and B's when it comes to pricing a bat. The fact that it shows no use hurts it also price wise. However, being a World Series bat helps it some as well...one of 2 probably made for him. (number on the knob end??) I have seen one early McCovey bat bring about 15K at a Heritage Auction about 6 months ago. John Taube from PSA bats currently has one for sale for 8K. However, it has been for sale for over a year. Can see it at his website. The reason I have a little knowledge on this players bats is because I have one...Hillerich...1965-69...graded a 9. Taube said it was close to a 9.5 but not quite.
I have seen them recently take as well bringing only a couple of thousand dollars at auction.... (perhaps a really good deal) I think with no use and being an Adirondack--this bat would still be an interesting conversation piece for sure. Sorry, I can not really pin down a price for it more...if he decides he wants to entertain an offer on it or has a price in mind that he would feel comfortable with....feel free to put him in touch....thanks.

$2K or so would be my guess as to value for a McCovey game issued WS bat with no use but it could be more to the right collector.
